Reaching Out
Trolls Cottage Lyrics

My timing's off
I am not in sync with the rest of the world

I know it's off
I am aware of my lack of timing

There's nothing I can do
I feel helpless to change it

It's how I feel
This is my truth and cannot be ignored

I cannot stop the way I feel
My emotions are beyond my control

And that's the truth
This is my honest admission

I've got you on my mind a lot
You occupy my thoughts frequently

It probably scares you off
My intensity may be intimidating to you

The way I talk
My communication style

The way it comes across
The impression I give

The way it feels when something moves too fast
The discomfort of trying to keep up

Why can't we take it slow
Let's progress at a comfortable pace

At least until we know that this will last?
We shouldn't rush into anything until we are certain

What do you know that I don't?
I am curious about what information you have

Are you alone with no hope?
Do you feel hopeless in your solitude?

I feel alone but got hope. She said
Despite my loneliness, I still have optimism

I just don't know, there might be something better yet
I am uncertain and still hopeful for something better

I'm willing to wait, instead of doing something I'll regret
I would rather be patient than make a hasty decision

I'm not content, the last one he just came and went
I am dissatisfied because the last one left so quickly

He always said that what he said is really what he meant
He prided himself on being honest

But then he left
His actions did not match his words

I thought that everything was set
I believed our relationship was stable

Set in stone, so I guess that even stones get old
Even the most solid things can become worn down

And go where others go
Eventually everything follows a common path

They wash away in the waves
An end that is uncertain

Or they roll to the bottom of the ocean floor
An end that is final

I'm reaching out
I'm trying to connect with you

And as I reach sometimes the words come out
I sometimes speak without thinking

Just like the way that something tumbles to the ground
Unpredictable and uncontrolled

I either talk or tend to think these thoughts too loud
I either say too much or keep my thoughts to myself

But they're coming out
My thoughts and feelings are hard to suppress

No matter what you think they're coming out
I cannot control what I feel and say

I've gone away, I go away, we've got to go or fade
We must either move forward or drift apart

It's better to burn out than ever to go and fade away
It's better to live fully than to just exist

It's nice to stay
Settling down can have its joys

To find a place to call your home
A comfortable and safe place to reside

It's good to roam
The freedom of travel can be exhilarating

Whether together or whether alone
We can enjoy experiences with or without others

It's good to reach
Striving for something can be rewarding

To see how far that you can reach
To measure one's own abilities and potential

Instead of wait
Proactively seeking opportunities

I've got to go and see
I must explore and experience life

It's good to dream
To have aspirations and goals

We've got to dream just like we think
Dreaming is a natural part of human thought

And hopefully we can find ourselves a little peace
Dreaming can bring comfort and happiness
